​Deeney warns Watford not to emulate Newcastle

Watford skipper Troy Deeney has warned his side that they cannot allow their disappointing end of season form to carry on into next term.

Speaking at the launch of Watford's new, permanent cryogenic recovery centre Deeney urged his team-mates not to start thinking about the summer sun: "It's easy to switch off but I've been drilling it home to the lads in the dressing room that we just can't.

"If you look at Leicester, they ended last season unbelievably well. I'm not saying we're going to win the league by any means but they carried on their form into this year. On the flip side Newcastle did poorly last year and it's carried on into this.

"You can get used to losing so that mentality will never happen as long as I'm here. We'll never get used to losing."
